Brooklyn Nets: Why We Shouldn’t Be Worried About Their Preseason Woes

The Brooklyn Nets struggled during the preseason, finishing with a dismal 1-5 record. Still, Nets fans should not be deterred by the team’s lackluster preseason performance.

The Brooklyn Nets had a rough preseason, to say the least. They dropped five out of six preseason games, which is unimpressive if you hear it like that.

We were all high on the team after their first preseason contest, which turned out to be their only win. After that, though, many fans’ hopes began to falter. Not that you can blame them, but the preseason wasn’t a complete mess for the Nets.

While Brooklyn only came out with one win, the preseason wasn’t entirely brutal to watch. Some games were close; others, not even by a long-shot. Still, the Nets showed some signs of developing chemistry on the floor, and many players put on a black-and-white uniform for the first time. Some players were surprising in their Nets debuts, both in a good or bad way. We also got a first look at which lineups Kenny Atkinson might use this season.

Now, with the regular season just five days away, it isn’t a good thing that Brooklyn is entering the new season with such a drab performance in the preseason. Not to worry, though, this isn’t an end-all-be-all situation. There’s still hope for us, Nets fans.

Here are five reasons we shouldn’t be worried about the Nets’ preseason woes.
